With Rowe dropping out of tourney, it looks like Pilant has a much better chance at placing top 6 now by losing. If he won that first round match, he likely wouldn't have.

Is there anyway to see who everyone else picked?

Seems like a bunch of freshman did well at Blackhorse. Curious if Workman goes to 108 at end of year...would think he would be a finalist w a chance to win it. Then I see top ranked guys being Walker(113),Jakob(120),Bosken or Smalling at 126, Little(132).

Agree...... But, these kids are going to be in hotels, sitting around more than they should be and eating out at usually unhealthy establishments for 3 days. They will put on weight they normally wouldn't be and then have to lose it compared to their normal workouts and eating healthy at home.

I think it will drive people away. My kid is all about wrestling, but 3 days off from school to wrestle 4 matches. At this point, I have to ask him if the postseason is worth doing anymore. I show up for almost everything but w this decision, I will show up for the finals only.

I agree. I don't care one bit about the $$$. But, as a parent who goes to most tournaments throughout the season and often sits through poorly run tournaments that take much longer than they should, a 3 day tournament is ridiculous. Yes. Finalists will have 1 match on Friday and 1 on Saturday. I thought the 1 day tournament last year was perfect. I love wrestling and watching not just my son, but this is a terrible call. I hope others bring this up w their coaches and whoever is in charge. Who ultimately makes this decision?

https://tssaasports.com/event/detail.cfm?id=20210702 Individual state schedule is posted. 3 days w round of 16 and qtrs on Thursday, semis on Friday, and finals on Saturday. That doesn't seem to be a lot of wrestling each day for a team that sends a couple of kids to states. As a parent of a wrestler that has a good shot at the finals, I probably won't go out until Saturday at this point, which sucks. Post above is right, no one is eliminated on 1st day.

Anyone have any insight or inside knowledge on numbers and how this is going to be setup?

24 man brackets would make the 3rd/4th place matches at regionals exciting and worth watching. Also, we really liked Chattanooga and the venue this year. Nice to be able to have hotels steps away and to be able to walk to restaurants. Would have liked to see the finals mat be separated from the other 2 mats at the end and have the crowd be able to have 360 degree access to seating to make the finals stand out a bit. But, I think the venue did great.

How is the general public even allowed to attend? The latest order from the governor states only household members are allowed at these events. By opening it up online, I'm sure there are non household members attending now. And, still a bunch of us parents without a ticket.

As a very diligent parent here, I was never relying on a coach's email that was sent by TSSAA through the AD. I was following TSSAA website which said parents would be given codes to buy tickets...period. Public would not be allowed...period. At no time did I ever think I would need to rush to buy a ticket especially with what we have been hit with in the past week with the weather. There was no mention of any deadlines on TSSAA site or in their first email to the coaches. I don't feel there is anything nefarious going on, but why was there this quick deadline if public was not to be allowed...period?

Need 2 tickets for AAA. Yes, our coach didn't get us an email fast enough. He was also dealing with his school being shutdown due to 10 inches of snow and ice, scrambling to find practice facilities, multiple emails from parents/wrestlers, and whatever familial issues he has to deal with on a daily basis. Why this deadline? I've been following the website and assumed tickets would be available to parents until the last minute. I wasn't planning on looking at buying tickets until a couple of days prior to the event, especially with the easing of covid guidelines. Anyway, 2 tickets AAA?
